Drama Croup Will Present Original Play
'Blow, Bugle, Blow'
Tells Youth's Ideas On War Problem
“War declared! — United States enters World war!”
Such a cry will open the scene for "Blow Bugle Blow," one-act play to be presented at an open meeting of the Drama Workshop tomorrow night at 7:30 o’clock in Touchstone theater.
Written by Jane Lewis. S.C. dramatist, and under the direction of Betty Pickard, graduate student in the School of Speech, the drama will be the third in a series of six one-act plays, written, directed, and acted by students, to be staged by this group.
PLAY DEALS WITH WAR
The scene is laid ln a fraternity house in the year 1940 and the plot deals with the conflict between dictatorships and democracies and the reaction of college students ln war time.
Impressionalistic rather than real-tic, the play depicts the conflict of three different types of personalities. Nick, played by Bill Smale, is a cynical realist who sees war as something horrible and tragic and writes editorials against war.
Rod, hi* roommate, carried by Grover Stewart, ls both realistic and idealistic. He is the sensitive, poetic type who sees war as something tragic, yet glorious.
PLAYERS ARE NAMED Al, the enthusiastic all-American patriot, is portrayed by Bob Benson. He is intolerant of other people's views, throwing the name "yellow” at anyone opposed to war.
Two other characters, Jim and Bill, played by Carl Lang and Harry Bennett respectively, add zest and interest to the drama.
Completing the all-male cast are the orator and newsboy who appear in the prologue only. Leonard Peck takes the part of the former and Richard Worthen, the latter.
This is one of the best written student plays I have seen,” declared Betty Pickard, director. “It ls especially significant because of its timeliness and basic universal appeal.”

Mussolini Warns France to Negotiate A Peaceful Settlement
ROME, March 26—CPI— Premier Benito Mussolini today demanded Italian domination in the Mediterranean at the expense of French colonial concessions and said Italy is ready to fight, if necessary, to attain them.
II Duce proclaimed his demands against France—Tunisia, Djibouti, and the Suez canal—before 75,000 rain-drenched Blackshirts massed in the Mussolini forum to celebrate the 20th birthday of Fascism. WORLD HEARS SPEECH
His speech, marking the first official statement of the anti-French \ claims, was carried throughout the world by radio.
Italy's guiding policy is one of armed might in her dealing with other nations, said Mussolini, who asserted that “it ls well known that we consider perpetual peace a catastrophe for civilization.” DEMANDS ARE LISTED

Diplomats said that Mussolini had set the stage for early negotiations between France and Italy on a three-point basis, as follows:
1—Italian naval parity with France and satisfying Italy’* demands for "vital space.”
2—A new treaty with France to give Italy greater rights in Tunisia and a share of the Suez canal and the French port of Djibouti, including the Djibouti-Addls Ababa railroad.

tatlon,” basing his talk on his yet unpublished book "Interpretation: Logical Analysis of a Method of Historical Research.”
SPEAKER FROM VIENNA
Dr. Gomperz, exchange professor of philosophy from the University of Vienna, has published several papers on the philosophy of Heraclitus, who was termed even by his contemporaries the "Obscure Philosopher." “Hls obscurity was not accidental,” explains Dr. Qomperz, "but conformed to a literary trend of the age, which consisted ln condensing quite a number of meanings into the same set of words.”
Only fragments of Heraclitus' work remain, and these show "great profundity, and thought lt has always been felt that Heraclitus had a message to convey to his readers, lt has been very differently Interpreted by different ages and schools," comments Dr. Oomperz. WRITERS WERE ENIGMATIC
This abstruseness in his writing, he added, is a result of the fashion of the age, ln which writers were deliberately enigmatic so that only the Intelligentsia could understand their meaning. To quote Heraclitus’ contemporary Pindar, the Greek poet, "I have many arrows in my quiver; they are meant but for the intelligent,” expresses the reason for their ambiguity.
His friends and associates called him the "Weeping Philosopher," because he sorrowed over the stupidity of his fellow men. Although little ta known of him, hi* great contribution to phllosophlo thought ta hls conception that cosmic history runs ln repetitious cycles, each beginning and ending in fire.
Dr. Gomperz, who came to the B.C. campus ln 1936 from Vienna, received the LLD. degree from S.C. ln 1938. He has published many books and articles, most of them ln the German language.

tatlon,” basing his talk on his yet unpublished book "Interpretation: Logical Analysis of a Method of Historical Research.”
SPEAKER FROM VIENNA
Dr. Gomperz, exchange professor of philosophy from the University of Vienna, has published several papers on the philosophy of Heraclitus, who was termed even by his contemporaries the "Obscure Philosopher." “Hls obscurity was not accidental,” explains Dr. Qomperz, "but conformed to a literary trend of the age, which consisted ln condensing quite a number of meanings into the same set of words.”
Only fragments of Heraclitus' work remain, and these show "great profundity, and thought lt has always been felt that Heraclitus had a message to convey to his readers, lt has been very differently Interpreted by different ages and schools," comments Dr. Oomperz. WRITERS WERE ENIGMATIC
This abstruseness in his writing, he added, is a result of the fashion of the age, ln which writers were deliberately enigmatic so that only the Intelligentsia could understand their meaning. To quote Heraclitus’ contemporary Pindar, the Greek poet, "I have many arrows in my quiver; they are meant but for the intelligent,” expresses the reason for their ambiguity.
His friends and associates called him the "Weeping Philosopher," because he sorrowed over the stupidity of his fellow men. Although little ta known of him, hi* great contribution to phllosophlo thought ta hls conception that cosmic history runs ln repetitious cycles, each beginning and ending in fire.
Dr. Gomperz, who came to the B.C. campus ln 1936 from Vienna, received the LLD. degree from S.C. ln 1938. He has published many books and articles, most of them ln the German language.
